Sounds great what you're doing. I am trying to lose last stone of pregnancy weight. What a nightmare. Being more consistent with running now. Taking part in Liverpool Women's 10k next week. I will get round (eventually!).
Cotty67 - what kind of treadmill have you got. I am in the same family position as yourself. Thinking about buying a treadmill and leaving gym....Anyone else got treadmills at home that can offer advice, I'm listening....
When you live near Manchester, you're used to running in the rain. Just get wet, but make sure your top is the wicking type. Bin bag to keep dry before the start, which can be discarded. Have fun.
